. :iBe it known thatl, JOHN: P. r m a citizen of" the United States,:res1d1ngat Kansas City, in the county of; Jackson and State of Missouri, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Guspidors- -of which the following is a specification.

@This invention relates zto cuspidors, and

my object is to produceraIfount-ain- :cuspidor for use in public places which can be flushed as often asv desired and keptin a sanitary condition without" being manually cleaned. To this end the invention consists in certain novel and peculiar features ofconstruction and organization as: hereinafter :de-

scribed and claimed; and fin order that-it may had to the accompanying drawing,.. in which- Figure 1, is a central vertical section of "a cuspidor embodying .my invention, ar- Iranged in operativepositions Fig. 2, is a top plan view of the s ame, partly broken away. Fig.3, is a .verticalsection of a modifi ed form of plate employed as; a deflector,

and false bottomof ther-cuspidor. "Fig- 4, is view on areduced scale showingabattery of cuspidorscontrolled by a single valveand provided with. a trap in common.

In the saiddrawingyl indicates the bowl of the cuspidor, having a flared upper, end, and atits upper margin the wall -is. .-provided with an .inturnedrolling flange '2, to

prevent water'splashing out of the bowl as hereinafter explained, and said wall is provided with an opening 3, and anexternal flange 4 to rest upon 'thenfloor.5,*through whichthe bowl depends. The bowl is provided "with a central bottom opening 6, freg. istering with the upper end of a receptacle 7, which in an individual cuspidor will formthe receiving end of a water-seal trap 8, adapted to be connected in the customary manner to a soil pipe, not shown. The receptacle 7 is preferably provided at its upper end with an external flange 9, and a gasket 10 is interposed between said flange and the bottom .of the bowl around the opening 6 thereof, and to secure said parts in rigid relatlon, stove bolts 11 extend up through said flange, gasket and the bottom of the bowl, and also extend through sleeves 12 resting on the bottom of the bowl and a plate 13 resting on the sleeves, nuts l4 en'ga ing the upperends of the bolts to clamp t end; with one or. more jet orifices 17 arranged be fully understoodlreference isftobe 9 23is fabranchppipe leading from pipe 20, and connected by a, union 24 with a'pipe25 equipped at itsupper end with an elbow 26 e plate reliably'in position. This plate constitutes false bottom and deflec-Ia tor forl'the bowl, and the sleeves 12 space it from thebowl fora,purposelwhichhere- ,inafter appears. The central portion of the charged against. its underside, radially outward between ithe outer ,marginfof the plate and the bottom of the bowl; Projecting into the receptacle :7 is a threaded tube-15 and mounted upon the inner end of the; same is i an uprlght'elbow .16, provided vat-its upper to. discharge against the bottom of the" plate J j; 18. is aloc outer end of, receptacle 7 and 19 is a coupling connecting the outer end of tube'15 with pipe 20,, controlled by a self-closing g-valve 21, provided'i'with a pusharod 22,;by

whichthe valveis opened by foot power 1 or otherwise. s,

carrying atube 27 extending through open-' ing Binto the upper'part-of the bowl, and provided in opposite sides with orifices 28 through which water is adapted to be dis-' charged intothe bowl in; such a manner-that" it will, travel in io'ppositedirections spirally downward and encounter, a circular up- .wardly ;moving .wall of water supplied through orifices 17 and deflected by plate 13 and the bottom of the bowl outwardly'and upwardly,1the two currents of watermeeting and together thoroughly cleansing the interior of 'thebowl: Under such encounter of the two currents, the water is violently agitated and thoroughly cleans the deflector, and effects the disintegration of cigar stubs and the like so that the same shall flow off with i the water through the trap to the sewer, it being of course understood that cigar stubs may not be thoroughly disintegrated until they have remained in the bowl for a suflicient length oftime to become thoroughly water-soaked. Of course it may be necessary occasionally for the porter to remove material'from the cuspidor, but suchv contents will have been rendered sanitary-by the hollow upper side of the same will k flutieiilgagingitub 15 at the it loo in hotels and like places With pl tes 13,1156:
